Emperor yuan Jingdi gently threw the red paper to the old eunuch and said with a smile, "my dear friend, tell me if there is any fraud in this new year's meeting."

The old eunuch took the fold, quickly glanced at it, and then said, "I'm stupid, but I think there's something wrong with it."

After staring at him for a few seconds, Emperor Yuan Jing ordered: "order the government and the Ministry of punishment to deal with this case, and make sure to find out."

When the old eunuch was ordered to step down, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty sat on the Dragon chair and looked at the blue sky outside the imperial study. He suddenly laughed: "one arrow, three carvings."

The boa Pao eunuch left the imperial study, bowed his head and walked quickly for a hundred meters. He patted his chest with surprise, and his face was gloomy:

"when he was red, he asked me..... Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, it's not that we don't help you, our life is the most important."

Soon after, the imperial edicts were sent to the Ministry of punishment and the government.

Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment seemed to have expected that after receiving the order, he immediately sent someone to arrest Xu Xinnian.

Chen Fu Yin received an order from the palace, sighing and shaking his head: "the wind and waves will sometimes... I'm afraid that a big wave will hit you and destroy your ship and kill you."

He immediately called Shaoyin and said in a deep voice, "send someone to arrest Xu Xinnian immediately and bring him back to the Yamen for interrogation. Be sure to get someone before the Ministry of punishment..... Send someone to inform Xu Yinluo."

......

Xu Fu.

In the warm spring, Xu new year let people put the desk under the shade of trees, the sun through the branches and leaves, mottled shaking on the table, books, and his beautiful face.

Tea cups and cakes are on hand.

Aunt with Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingyin sisters, and stay at home Lina, is ready to go out to play.

When Lina saw Xu Xinnian under the tree, she praised him generously: "Xu Erlang is really pretty. If she were in our tribe, she would fight for him."

Aunt instantly alert, like to see a sow trying to arch their own cabbage.

Is this little black skin in southern Xinjiang suggesting that she is interested in Erlang? Bah, wishful thinking, toads want to eat swan meat.

Aunt beauty eyes cut Lina for a while, urged: "it's late, go out early."

This trip without a retinue, a hundred retinues are not equal to a little black skin in southern Xinjiang. Little black skin's strength is testified by Xu Er Shu and Xu Dalang.

My aunt also witnessed little black skin kneading a big fist stone into powder easily.

Lina immediately puts the pretty Xu Erlang behind her and goes out in a hurry. She can't wait to visit Dafeng capital.

When I was in southern Xinjiang, I often heard the elders of the tribe talk about Dafeng capital, the most prosperous city in the world.

"The dead girl eats a lot, and she thinks ill of my husband. I have to find a way to drive her away..." she thought to herself.

This alien woman from the sky aroused my aunt's xenophobic thought.

She was planning how to drive away the foreign women. In her sight, she saw a group of officers and soldiers rush in, push the porter Lao Zhang to the ground, and go straight to the inner courtyard.

One of the captains, holding a picture in his hand, compared it, pointed to Xu Xinnian, who was reading in the shade of a tree, and said, "this man is Xu Xinnian. Take it."

"Who are you? Why should I arrest my Erlang? " Aunt pale, out of the psychological protection of calves, she did not hesitate, frowning in front of the officers and soldiers.

"How dare you stop the punishment department from taking people? Take it with you With a wave of his hand, the constable ordered his men to arrest his aunt.

Two officers immediately came forward, took out the rope and put it on the aunt's head.

"Bang!"

Lina stepped forward and gently pushed on the chest of the two officers. "Ah..." two screams, the official flew out, fell seven meat and eight vegetables.

Bang!

The officers drew out their weapons one after another. The blade pointed at Lina. The little girl in southern Xinjiang licked her lips. She was a little excited. She could kill all these people in ten breath.

My aunt was so frightened that she hid behind Lina and suddenly found that this little black skin was so reliable that it was worth relying on.

"Stop it."

Xu Xinnian yelled, put down the book and came over. His eyes swept the officials coldly and said in a deep voice:

"I'm Huiyuan, and I have a reputation. It's a big crime for you to break into my residence and use the blade rashly."

At this time, the two officers who had been beaten up stood up rubbing their chests. Seeing that they were normal, the constable pondered a little, took his knife back, took out a card and said, "we have taken Xu Huiyuan back to the Yamen for questioning on the order of the Ministry of punishment."

Xu new year frowned: "what did Xu do?"

"Xu Huiyuan will come with us." With a wave of his hand, the constable said, "take it away."

Lina just wanted to do it, but was stopped by Xu Xinnian. He welcomed the official of the Ministry of punishment: "I'll go with you."

Aunt and Xu Lingyue chased outside the mansion until the official escorted Xu Xinnian to disappear in the street.Lina whispered: "Xu Erlang also robbed silver?"

She knew that she was going to be caught by the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the porter Lao Zhang brought Xu Xinnian's horse and said, "madam, miss, I'll let someone inform the master."

Aunt and Xu Lingyue turned around at the same time and cried, "go to find Dalang."

...

"what? Is the official of the Ministry of punishment coming to arrest Erlang? "

In the watchman's Yamen, Xu Qian, who received the news, was stunned and caught off guard.

"Dalao, do something quickly. My wife and miss are crying." The porter Lao Zhang's son looks anxious.

"Why arrest?"

Lao Zhang's son shook his head and said, "all of a sudden, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and pushed my father around. He grabbed Erlang and left."

"I see. You go back first." Xu Qi'an said, "tell Auntie and Ling Yue not to worry. I'll deal with it."

"Dalao, you have to go back and talk to them yourself." The son of Porter Lao Zhang said.

Xu Qi'an nodded, waved him away, sat at the table and pondered for a moment. He got up and left Yidao hall. He planned to go to the criminal department to find out why the criminal Department wanted to catch Xu Erlang.

"It's not that the Secretary of the Ministry of punishment deliberately finds fault in order to vent his anger on his niece. If so, it will be easier to solve. Erlang has a reputation, but he can't do anything about ordinary trifles...

"but the style of the court leaders, even if they are angry for their nieces, will not catch people without reason. They must have grasped the handle, and they are sure that they will hit the target.

, so, Erlang must be getting into trouble. I just don't know what...

thought, he came out of the yard, and was about to turn to the shed and bring the little mare. He saw Lv Qing, the chief of Kwai ya, with two quick hands and hurried into the yard.

"Lord Xu."

The two sides met face to face, Lu Qing's face brightened, and then was anxious to replace, even said: "Fu Yin asked me to inform you that Xu Huiyuan is in trouble."

"I know that he was taken away by the Ministry of punishment not long ago." Xu Qi'an nodded calmly.

"It seems that the people from the Ministry of punishment are one step faster." Lu Qing sighed.

"Please come inside, Constable Lu. I have something to ask you."

Xu Qi'an gives up the idea of going to the stable and leads LV Qing back to Yidao hall.

Lu Qing took the tea from the official, took a sip symbolically, and opened the door to the mountain: "Your Majesty has issued a decree to investigate Xu Huiyuan's malpractice in the imperial examination."

"Imperial examination fraud" four words, let Xu Qian eyebrow jump.

Erlang's song "journey is difficult" was indeed given to him by me, but was it a fraud in the imperial examination? I am in charge of the examination questions. The imperial court does not support this kind of thing, but it never forbids it. There is a custom of holding questions in the scholars. Strictly speaking, it is not fraud... No, the problem itself is not fraud.

Smelling the smell of conspiracy, Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice, "is it your majesty who wants to investigate?"

Lu Qing looked at the officials in the hall and said in a low voice: "I don't know, but Mr. Xu doesn't want to speculate."

"I made a slip of the tongue."

But this is very important. If emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty wanted to engage in Erlang, it would be hard to deal with. Erlang's future was almost destroyed. Goods in the imperial family, the imperial family do not want, scholars will be abandoned..... Xu Qi said with ease.

"Thank you, Constable Lu, for reminding me that I'm in a hurry to deal with this matter. I can't keep you."

"Lord Xu, give me a ride." Lu Qingyi has a point.

They left Yidao hall and walked out of the house side by side. LV Qing lowered her voice and said, "Lord Xu, you'd better go to the criminal department. When you get to the criminal department, you'll be in charge. It's late. I'm afraid it's too late. That's all

Lu Qing has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has worked in the government for many years. She has seen many similar cases and knows all the tricks in the officialdom.

Seeing off LV Qing, Xu Qi'an turns to the Haoqi building and asks for help from Wei Yuan.

Intuition told him that it was not so simple. There were intrigues in the officialdom. He lacked experience and rank. Fortunately, he had a big leg to hold.

After entering the Haoqi building and the tea room, Xu Qi'an told Wei Yuan about it and asked for help: "please teach me."

Wei Yuan held the teacup and pondered: "I didn't receive the notice from the palace, which means your majesty doesn't want me to know, at least don't want me to know immediately."

Xu Qian's face changed: "is your majesty going to make me?"

"What a vulgar word to make." Wei Yuan disliked the way, and then shook his head: "you Xu brothers, are not enough to let your majesty personally end, should be impeached.

"As for the purpose, first of all, according to the examples of cheating cases in previous imperial examinations, since it is cheating, there must be examiners who will give up the questions. The three examiners in Chunwei this time are Zhao Tingfang at Dongge University, Liu Hong, the censor of Youdu, and Qian Qingshu, the Bachelor of wuyingdian. The rest of the fish are ignored.

"Among the three examiners who may have missed the test, Qian Qingshu was excluded first."Xu Qian frowned: "why?"

Wei Yuan replied: "impeachment memorials to the cabinet, the cabinet is Wang Zhenwen's territory, and Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's people, understand?"

Wang Shoufu didn't return the memorial, which shows that it has nothing to do with Qian Qingshu..... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I understand."

Wei Yuan continued: "secondly, your cousin Xu Xinnian is a member of Yunlu Academy. Although the court has many parties, it is a tacit understanding of all civil servants that they jointly suppress the taxi drivers of Yunlu Academy. This is the main reason for the malpractice in this imperial examination. "

"The great scholar of Yunlu Academy... Didn't remind me?" Xu Qian frowned.

"It's inevitable to encounter repression, but it may not be because of cheating in the imperial examination. Even if Xu won the first place in the new year, he can still be swept into every corner. There are too many ways to recruit. How can we guard against it? " Wei Yuan shook his head.

"Finally, Xu new year is your cousin, and you are my confidant. Will you turn to me for help in the event of a big future? If I don't, there will be a rift between us. If I do, the follow-up will come. " Wei Yuan sneered:

"Your Majesty is happy to see me fighting with civil servants, so the news from the palace didn't come out."

Kill two birds with one stone... No, if there is the examiner who failed the test, the person behind is three birds with one arrow. As for Erlang, there are no more than three outcomes when he is involved in the imperial examination fraud case: first, the evidence is solid, he is exiled or decapitated. 2、 The evidence is solid, but the criminal responsibility is lighter. If he gets rid of his official position, he can't be employed all his life. 3、 After the investigation, he was not guilty, but he missed the palace examination and lost his reputation.

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and his head was as big as a bucket.

There's so much conflict between men and women. It's disgusting.

Do all these sneaky tricks.

"Duke Wei, what should I do?" Xu Qi'an was open-minded and confident in solving the case. On the officialdom struggle, he is a silver face to a group of kings.

Fortunately, there is also a king and a top man behind me.

"I can end up, but in this way, Xu new year will be my person, and the label on my body will never be washed away." Wei Yuan drinks tea and looks at him with warm eyes.

This matter is very troublesome. Even if Duke Wei helps Erlang out, it will hurt his muscles and bones. After all, the opposite party is not a single party, it may be the tacit understanding between multiple parties......

moreover, if Erlang becomes a castration party like me, it's better to let him leave his hometown and the capital......

Xu Qi'an frowned, sat for a long time, and said in an astringent voice "Duke Wei, is there any other way?"

"Yes!"

This answer surprised and surprised Xu Qian.

But Wei Yuan changed his head and said, "but you can't do it."

PS: correct me, Sean ghoust's reward is 230000, not 190000. I miscalculated in the last chapter.

In addition, recently I met some bad things. I didn't sleep last night. After sleeping for four hours during the day, I got up to code. And then I'm not in the mood to code.

Fortunately, it's the weekend, otherwise I'm afraid of sudden death. It's just one more day today.

Don't worry. The words owed today will be made up tomorrow, and the words will be true.

By the way, the inspiration of this case comes from Tang Yin's imperial examination fraud case, which is not a fabrication. I have checked a lot of information about imperial examination fraud, and the evidence is conclusive, but there are also many cases of life-long destruction without evidence.
